Deadwood Report

[Westslopecutt]

You could also consider investing some time into fishing the Deadwood river above the reservoir, if you like river fishing. There are 3 campgrounds at the reservoir and all 3 have some campsites that are right next to the water(when it's full). The water level was already beginning to drop when I was there over the weekend of 7/11 and 7/12 and the distance will increase between the campsites and the reservoir as the summer progresses. You can also go on line and reserve a camp site, which might not be a bad idea because the campgrounds tend to fill up over the weekends during this time of year. My personal favorite is Cozy Cove, but the other campgrounds are nice too. You have to reserve at least 7 days in advance and the website is called "reserveamerica.com" if you're interested. There are a bunch of primitive campsites along the river above the reservoir and on the west side of the reservoir itself too so you'll eventually find a place to camp if you're willing to do some exploring even if the campgrounds are full.
